UPM Raflatac to Bring 51 Jobs to Henderson County
State Grant Helps Company Expand Operations
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that UPM Raflatac, a leading global supplier of pressure sensitive labelstock, will expand in Henderson County. The company plans to create 51 jobs and invest $11.5 million during the next three years in Henderson County. The project was made possible in part by a $150,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
“Creating jobs is my top priority, and one of the best ways to do that is to help manufacturers who already call North Carolina home expand and hire more workers,” said Gov. Perdue. “Companies like UPM Raflatac realize our top-rated business climate and excellent workforce make North Carolina the ideal location to grow.”
UPM Raflatac produces pressure sensitive labelstock that is designed to meet the needs of demanding applications in a vast array of end-uses. A subsidiary of Finnish-based UPM, the company has operated in Henderson County since 1985 and currently employs 342 in North Carolina. The grant will help the company expand its current production capabilities.
Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual wage for the new jobs will be $34,653 plus benefits. The Henderson County average annual wage is $32,240.
“We are excited that we are able to continue to grow and create new jobs in Henderson County” said Phil Webb, Human Resources Director. Webb indicated that this investment is the 4th major investment the company has made in Henderson County since 2000. “We are proud of the team we’ve built here, and grateful for the support that we’ve received throughout the community, so in many respects, the decision to grow here was an easy one.”
The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up
